Walmart Nightmare

After missing the first bus, I waited an hour and took the next Downtown, and then got on a bus to Walmart to get the sheets.  It was an hour ride, and it would take another hour to get back.  I knew I needed to make sure I got EVERYTHING I needed.  I wouldn't have another two hours to ride back (plus waiting time).  I bought everything on my list and just as the bus pulled up, I thought, "gee, that's strange, that one sheet looks a bit different shade than the others."  I got on the bus and immediately opened all the sheets up to compare, and yes! they were in fact different.  The thread counts didn't match the color was slightly different and, what's this? The tags actually say a different brand name!  Someone put the wrong sheet in the package!  So now I have two matching sheets and an oddball!  Someone probably bought the sheet, then returned a different one in its packaging.  It seems so wrong.  
I can't use them together because the projection will NOT look the same on them.  But I CAN'T spend another three hours just to go to the Walmart that is only ten minutes away by car.  I don't know what to do but to go around begging anyone with a car to drive me over there so I can exchange the sheet.  I hate having to bother everyone else.  And I wasted my whole day doing this.
